To my knowledge they are the same as regular season overtime rules.
Random team chosen to recieve
No refresh of re-rolls, but if you had some re-rolls unused from 2nd half, they are still good in OT.
Sudden death, first to score wins.
If no score for 8 turns it's a tie.
Semi-final note: Since you "can't have a tie" in semi-finals
After that it's up to commisioner to determine what to do if score is tied after 8 OT turns. Should have been determined before game started, but since it probably has not, best idea is to continue until someone scores. |

It's the semi-finals, you play until someone wins.  Could be interesting without any rerolls.

we do:
2x 4 turns overtime, toss for first reciever.
If still a draw, keep on playing till there is a winner.
Any coach may concede the game without penalties. (cuz a dwarf, orc, chaos, etc team may keep his opponent from scoring and then just kill all and score without opposition) |

The actual rule for playoffs is 8-turn OTs, roll for receiving team every odd OT and alternate every even OT. First TD wins.
However, an interesting twist that i've added in my league, and that makes OT fairer, is that every kickoff event is automatically a blitz in OT. That way, it's not an obvious advantage for either the receiving or the kicking team. |

The LRB rule is if it's still a draw after 8 turns of OT, the end result is a draw. You'd have to toss a coin or something to decide the winner.
I think most people would rather use one of the suggestions above or something similar though, but those are house rules. |

I just looked this one up.
Quote: The first team to score wins the match. If neither team scores, then the match is a draw or can be decided by a penalty shoot-out: each coach rolls a D6, high score wins, re-roll ties! Any unused re-rolls add +1 to the D6 score. |

Mordredd has the "official" call. We play standard overtime in my league, with no draws allowed. We've had a good number of games go to OT, and most of them have been very tight affairs!
Zombie - That's an interesting twist! Just out of curiosity, what percentages of coaches have won the coin toss and chosen to kick?

I'd like to answer that, but as we only have OT in the playoffs over here, there's not enough data to make statistics.
Actually, i think there's only been one OT since i introduced the rule less than a year ago, and i wasn't there to witness what happened.
I'll tell you one thing though. If i won the toss, i really don't know which way i'd go. It would probably depend on the races and the skills present. |

That's what I was thinking. I'm not sure which way I'd go, either. In that sense, it's a good idea.

I can see using the offical coin toss to decide a regular season tie but it's just wrong to do in the playoffs. It would be like deciding the World Cup on a shoot out (opps they do that don't they).  |

If I'm still tied after 50 turns, I probably want the game to end immediately 
Seriously:
* If you had the advantage but couldn't finish off your opponent, you deserve to be at the mercy of the dice.
* Conversely, if you held off your opponent long enough at less than 50/50 odds, you deserve a 50/50 shot to win the game.
* Finally, if the game has basically been a toss-up...well, the coin toss settles the issue much more quickly!

I still disagree with that. In playoffs, you don't want a hard fought game to be decided by a coin toss! Winning that way would suck more than losing in 3rd OT!
In playoffs, the stakes are too high not to fight 'til the bitter end! |

I totally agree  .
I think what Chet was refering to was when it gets 'silly'. You know, if the final game breaks the 3 hour boundry and still no definative answer then you really do have to start thinking
"If it hasn't happened after three hours, if and when it does happend is it really a respectable result as in normal game/ to win the league?
Or, to phrase it in a different way, if I heard that the winner of the entire league took 4 hours to win the final, and he was using Khemri, I would not be impressed with his skill level at all... |

All of our OT games use the auto blitz zombie mentioned and have for several seasons. We all love them games rarely go to a 2nd OT but at the same time it doesnt favor either team.
Quote: Zombie - That's an interesting twist! Just out of curiosity, what percentages of coaches have won the coin toss and chosen to kick?
In our league about 40% of the time the team that wins the toss chooses to kickoff. |
